EuroNASCAR PRO – Podium Leaders
Credits: NASCAR Whelen Euro Series / Bart Dehaese
Unlike most NASCAR-sanctioned championships, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series implements a podium system for the first three finishing drivers, similar to what is seen in most other forms of motorsport.
A total of 45 drivers and 36 teams have visited the podium in the top EuroNASCAR PRO division since the first season of the series under official NASCAR sanctioning in 2012.
Listed below are the drivers and the teams that have visited the rostrum in EuroNASCAR PRO. The all-time podiums list excludes races that are not considered as part of the official championship calendar, such as the 2012 exhibition race at Tours and the two Trofeo Angelo Caffi tournaments.
NOTE : The list shown below are correct as of the end of the 2023 EuroNASCAR Finals at Circuit Zolder. Drivers shown in “bold” are drivers that have competed in at least one (1) EuroNASCAR PRO race of the 2023 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season.

DRIVERS
Ander Vilariño, Romain Thievin and Dimitri Enjalbert were the first drivers to score a podium finish in EuroNASCAR PRO when they finished inside the top-3 in the inaugural NASCAR Whelen Euro Series race at Circuit Paul Armagnac in 2012.
The most recent driver to visit the podium for the first time is Fabrizio Armetta, who did so by finishing third in the 2023 season finale race at Circuit Zolder.
Carole Perrin, who finished third in the first race of the 2012 Spa 200 at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, is the first – and so far only – female driver to have scored a podium finish in EuroNASCAR PRO.
Alon Day currently holds the record for the most podium finishes with 51, beating the previous record of second placed driver Frédéric Gabillon. With 45 podiums, Gabillon maintains a ten podium lead from Vilariño, who is third in the all-time list.
